How does this pot fit on a regular electric coil stove? I am love the height for qt jars, but the width seems huge.

I do not have an electric coil stove but the Diameter of the pot is 16 inches. If you have an electric coil stove I would use a tape measure to determine how 16 inches would fit on the stove.

I use mine only to brew beer outside on a gas burner, My burner is like one that is used on a turkey oil cooker. I don't think it would fit real good on am electric burner on a range top due to it's large size. But since it does have a clad bottom the heat should transfer well anyway. To see how it would fit cut you a string Half the width of the pot. With your burner cool to the touch and off. Hold one end of the string in the center of the burner, Pivot the other end of the string around the burner in a circle motion. This will show you how much the pot will over hang your burner or if it will even fit on your range top. You would want to center the pot on the burner for best results.

I use it on a gas range that has cast supports that span two burners. Not sure if it would balance on one or two coils. Also takes both gas burners to get a good boil going.

I'm not with the company, but I am a fan of their products!I have a base and 2 of the 4qt stock pots. I think the base fits both their 4qt and the 2.3qt stock pots (I do not have the 2.3qt - but hope to rectify that soon!). I clicked on the link from your question and it looks like it is the link to the base+4qt. You can also go to their website to order 360cookware.com. I've always had good customer service from them and their product is the best I've ever used - the slow cooker is awesome, but make sure you use low temps - it is really amazing how 360 cookware can cook on lower temps. Just this week we used it to cook chicken with portobello and it was fantastic! I hope this helps!

This MaxiMatic is the second single burner I have owned. I remember reading that one should not use a pot or pan that is wider than the burner. (Possibly for safety reasons - - think of accidentally tilting. The model I have is ~ 8 1/2" in width.) 12" pots or pans would overhang. Also, my burner is elevated about 3 1/4" above the cabinet top surface. (Easier to tilt an overhanging pot or pan.) The burner is certainly powerful enough to bring liquids to boil. [I actually use mine more than the burners on my range top. So convenient, and has good levels of controls to adjust for whatever food is to be cooked.)

Inside is off-white, kinda beige. This pot will work on electric coil burners, but will hang over the edges, since its oval, not circular like the burner.

The bottom of this particular Pot messures Approximatley 10" to 10.5" Wide. If you have an Electric Stove, it will go Over the Edge of the Grate by just a little bit from what I'm able to see; if you have Very Wide Grate Piece for a Gas Stove, then you shouldn't have any problems. This is the very best that I can do in giving you a description of the size of this pot. I hope that this turns out to be very helpful, but if it doesn't, then I'm very sorry about that, I really did try to give you the information that your asking for / requesting. Good Luck with it, I hope everything works out for the best for you. The bottom of this particular Pot messures Approximatley 10" to 10.5" Wide.

I heated a 12" diameter pot of soup (8 qt pot of soup) and had no problem with it. It was boiling much, much more rapidly than a standard electric burner.

Wish I could help, but I've only used mine on gas & electric stove tops. They are terrific. My favorite pots. I have both sizes.

I put mine on top of a regular coil electric stove but I NEVER turn the stove on when it is sitting there. I used it to make extra space in my tiny kitchen. It is a space maker, not something to cook on.

I can't imagine this could help, but I have an 8 quart which measures 10 inches diameter and 5 inches high. I have several other sizes of this brand and style and find the general configuration is wider than most other brand, relative to each pot's height. LOVE them all.

There is only my husband and myself. I have cooked smaller portions of stew in this. The cast iron maintains the temperature so you can have less product inside, and is holds a temperature without fear of burning. A five quart would probably suit you well but this is great if you ever want to make a big pot roast, entertain, or make extra to put aside. I guess the question is - why too large? A shortage of storage space would be my only reason to scale down.

Can you give me the dimensions of the pot? I have been able to use a good size pot because the construction of the stove is that strong and has a good wide flame. I am almost sure you can.

Mine is a 7 quart and fit easily. Beware the ripping handles though, I almost dropped the crockpot on the sidewalk when the handles ripped.

The burner element of my unit is 7.5 inches. I agree with the other poster who said that there are no problems with boiling water in larger pots. I have some huge pots whose bottom plates are only 8", so it works well with them. The only pot I own that is a little too big is a huge 5 gallon stock pot. Even that will work in a pinch, but it takes forever to boil.

I'm using it for a 3qt <something>82 pot. The inside lip is 7" across, the overall diameter is 7.5".

I have an electric stove that are coils and have had no problems with the pan. I really like the size for cooking the big stuff and with the metal handle I can put it in the oven also.

Hi Frank, I just went and measured the oval opening at the back of my older model Vermont Castings, "Vigilant" wood stove, and as near as I can tell, as the adapter is installed, and the stove is burning and warm, so my measurements might be off by a quarter inch or so, the oval end is 10" wide x 6" high. As the metal in the adapter is fairly heavy, I doubt if you could squish it enough or if you could and did you would be able to change a 10" x 6" oval to a 14.5" x 4" oval. I suggest looking for the specific part that fits your specific stove.

Mine is 7 1/4 inches at the top and about 5 1/4 inches at the bottom (it tapers) and 3 inches tall. It is really too small for my 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven. I should have gone at least the next size larger. My Dutch oven is about 9 5/8 inches at the top, about 8 1/4 inches at the bottom, and 4 inches tall. I hope that helps some. It should fit your 4-quart sauce pan better than my Dutch oven.
